Bed was not comfortable. Not 1 USB port in the whole room worked (and there were 6 of them LOL) we called the front desk about it bc we were unable to charge our phones and not 1 person we talked to or they sent up was capable of fixing nor provide a solution. So they just basically said too bad so sad and left us without charging ability. The water park was mostly fun, but we also had an incident w the outside hot tub where a 6’+ large employee made our 7 year old cry over playing in the snow…. It was our fault but an innocent mistake that was handled outrageously, could definitely been handled differently.

We checked in on New Year’s Eve, we had a very bad smell in our room when turning the heat on, we also thought there would be a new year eve celebration which there wasn’t, when asking the front desk why they were not having anything for the new years or a celebration, I was told “I don’t know I just work here” I later found out they had a “noon year” thing earlier in the day, what about for the people checking in to celebrate new years ? Nothing? & why couldn’t the front desk just say that? Very rude. We went to this water park In hopes to have a very fun new years and was very disappointed when they did nothing. When we also first got there we went to look at the pool area since this was our first time, and was told we could not look without our wristbands, I told the lady we where just checking in and just wanted to see the pool, she told us, “no” staff seemed like they didn’t want to be there at all very rude and poor to the guests.

There were spots of some type of food on the wall and window sill. Our room was tiny for a family of 6 and our heat didn’t work but they did fix it. It also took 5 mins for the water in the shower and sinks to finally heat up. Kids were running around screaming at all hours of the night. All the actives were overpriced and it cost me $40 for 6 powerades. The waterpark was fun but half the slides and pools were closed due to lack of staff. It did seem pretty clean at first but after 3 days it did not look very clean anymore. We have been to much nicer water parks for the same price and we will not be going back.
